Samuel Robinson ~ Certified Baron Baptiste Power Yoga Instructor

"After a couple weeks of practicing on the Plank mat, im truly impressed at the mats ability to make me feel like a total beginner again. I have to be honest, I had my doubts and really had to just go for it. The beginners mind is a gift in Yoga practice, and your mat achieved this... the main downfall though, is the amount of sweat that I produce... it doesn't hold up in high sweat environments. I gave it a solid chance too, the learning curve was HUGE!!

It took a week of practice to get engagement correct so the mat would start to mold to my feet and hands, but I am not able to access that molding after a certain point in a Baptiste Power Yoga class simply because of body temperature, and sweat... The mat I feel is going to be perfect for a room that is mildly heated, or simply not heated. I will keep you updated about its performance in a not so sweaty environment, but so far Doreen, I am really impressed. Thank you so much for giving me the gift of the beginners mind again."

Normally yoga is done without shoes and usaluly on a mat. However those with foot issues can still do yoga exercises. Check with your instructor. There may be a special class for people who need to wear shoos.

I know from personal eicprxenee how it feels to injure someone, so I know you feel really crappy right now, but try not to be too hard on yourself. I wish I could make you feel better, but know I am sending healing thoughts to your opponent and supportive thoughts to you. Big hug, babe.
